Illinois -1.5 against UNLV is a steal. This game is a home game for Illini even though they aren't technically at home. Long travel for UNLV in this game. Illinois is the better team. UNLV has been beaten double digits by Wichita State and Wisconsin in its two out of three road games. The other was an overtime win over Cal-Santa Barbara. When looking at the facts, the only time UNLV has played well enough to warrant this line was the win over UNC. On the other hand, Illinois has been very solid this year. They beat a decent Richmond team on a neutral site and covered. They were firmly in control of Gonzaga at home and eventually won and covered. This line should be set around 4.5 or so IMO
Illinois -1.5
